"all who joy would win must share it - happiness was born a twin"

byron from "don juan"

a 1958 austin a35 as5 4 door saloon, she appears to have spent most of her life in the north island (nz) from new, where she was first registered on feb. 28, 1958.

 

after a few owners, & in scruffy but good condition,

she went to live with brian aroa, of hamilton, in 1994.

he put much time & effort into bringing her back to glory - not 100% original but close - & having her repainted in a more modern (hyundai) metallic leaf green.

she changed caretakers again, before I picked the wee lass up

from auckland & drove her down to christchurch

- an epic journey over 2 nights, a ferry ride & over 1000 kms!

"peapod"

3.47m long & 1.4 m wide

will comfortably seat

3 adult passengers.

she has seat belts both front & rear, is sealed,

& has some storage in the boot.
